Welcome to Hallam Teaching School Alliance

Hallam TSA operates out of Notre Dame High School, Sheffield, with St Catherine’s acting as our primary arm. Hallam TSA works closely with a large number schools across South Yorkshire through its activities as a SCITT, South Yorkshire Maths Hub and a regional Science Learning Partnership regional hub. The SCITT delivers ITT training at both Primary and Secondary through Hallam TSA and accredits trainees from 4 other School Direct Partnerships who deliver our ITT course. At a regional level we are involved in a number of initiatives around recruitment to Maths and Physics and lead a number of funded research projects. Our research impact extends to a national level, with Hallam TSA playing a leading role in an EEF funded RCT of our SMART Spaces revision and teaching materials. As a teaching school we have a strong track record of providing effective school to school support, actively collaborating on SSIF bids and providing support through staff secondment and Pupil Premium reviews.
